How to Connect Bluetooth in Older Imported Renault Koleos?
2 Answers
First, enable Bluetooth on the mobile phone you want to pair; Turn on the car system and press the multifunction button until the indicator light emits a blue glow. Use the car's Bluetooth to search for the phone's Bluetooth, or you can search via the phone. After a successful search, the current device name will be displayed. Press the "Yes" or "OK" button to pair. Once the device is connected, enter the password and press the "Yes" button.
I used to drive an old imported Koleos, and connecting Bluetooth was quite common but sometimes a headache. The first step is to start the car, then find the settings button or screen menu on the center console and select the Bluetooth option. After enabling pairing mode, you also need to turn on Bluetooth on your phone, search for new devices, and you should see a name like "Renault Koleos"—tap it. When connecting, you might need to enter a password; older models usually default to 0000 or 1234. If it doesn’t work the first time, don’t panic—turn off the car system, restart, and try again. The Bluetooth response on older cars is slow, so multiple attempts may be needed. From my experience, older system versions might not support music streaming, only calls, so if you can only make calls, don’t force it. I recommend regularly updating your phone’s Bluetooth settings to avoid conflicts. Also, weak vehicle battery can cause unstable signals, so make sure to operate after starting the car for better reliability.
